A sustainable route from the renewable myrcene to methyl ethers viadirect hydroalkoxylation
A direct route to odoriferous methyl ethers from the monoterpene myrcene is presented. Investigating the activity of different catalytically active Lewis acids, the non-toxic and low-cost AlCl sub(3) appeared to be very suitable. Thus, the common route to ethers viathe corresponding alcohols was red...

| Zusammenfassung: | A direct route to odoriferous methyl ethers from the monoterpene myrcene is presented. Investigating the activity of different catalytically active Lewis acids, the non-toxic and low-cost AlCl sub(3) appeared to be very suitable. Thus, the common route to ethers viathe corresponding alcohols was reduced from four steps to one. |
